Retailers start sales early to lure bargain hunters amid credit crunch
Those looking to buy a car in the current climate should press for discounts of up to 20 per cent, said Kieran Puffett, editor of Parker’s Car Price Guide. “A year ago you could have expected to get about 10 per cent off the list price,” he added. “Now, the cheekier the offer, the better.”
Richard Headland, motoring editor of Which?, said: “If you’ve got the money, it’s a pretty great time to buy cars. Dealers are actively having to encourage people to come in and buy. Factories just keep churning out cars and they have got to be sold one way or another.”
